I've been using whole disks in mdadm arrays for more than 15 years
across many many servers on Debian stable and have never experienced
what you describe. There must be something else at play here.

I suggest you post a detailed description of your problem to the
linux-raid mailing list and hopefully someone can help debug it.

Cheers,
Andy
